Mountain Kingsnake
I saw one of these guys while I was hiking the other day. It's a Mountain Kingsnake, and the colors are unbelievably beautiful and bright. The one I saw slithered away before I could get a picture, and this picture is from the California Reptiles and Amphibians website.
Most of the snakes in this area blend into the environment and are somewhat difficult to see, but these kingsnakes really stand out.

Cassandra,
I saw one of these once on the trail. He saw me coming and quickly crossed the trail to go behind a rock, except that he only put his head behind the rock leaving the rest of him just lying across the trail. So I stepped nonchalantly over him while pretending he was well hidden.
